A wildlife area at a popular park in Calverton has reopened after a spate of vandalism forced its closure.
The Wildlife Area Footpaths are based at William Lee Memorial Park on Park Road.
Over 600 trees were planted by residents and school pupils back in February but due to vandalism of the trees, the wildlife area was closed soon after until they became more established.
Calverton Parish Councillor Lorraine Brown said: “Calverton Parish Council are pleased to confirm that the Wildlife Area has been re-opened and footpaths mowed.
“Due to the long wait before cutting the grass some of the footpaths are a little unstable but we hope this doesn’t stop people from enjoying the wildlife Area. The picnic area has also been mown and will eventually have logs for seating.
“This is a lovely serene area for sitting and contemplating and one where children can explore the wildlife that currently habitats this location.”
She added: “We would ask visitors to be mindful of the long grass and stay on the footpaths to enable the saplings to become more established and please take all litter home with you.”
